Understanding 9/11New World Notes 91 - Is There a Right of Self-Defense? -- The U.S. vs. the U.K.
Audio With External Links Item Preview
30-minute weekly radio program for December 1, 2009. Historian Joyce Lee Malcolm discusses the diverging English and American views of the ancient English right on which the 2nd Amendment is based--the right of self-defense. This legal right has been preserved in the United States but has largely been abolished in the United Kingdom. Malcolm's stories of the practical effects in England of this change fascinated her audience. Would you believe a homeowner jailed for holding a toy gun on burglars?
Malcolm's words are from a public lecture I recorded at the University of Hartford on October 7, 2009. http://newworldnotes.blogspot.com.
